Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of telescopic arm off-road forklifts, in particular to a telescopic arm forklift arm lifting angle indicating device. Background Art
[0002] With the rapid development of the domestic construction industry, especially the construction of high-speed railways and the establishment of large-scale farms, the demand for engineering vehicles has gradually increased. Engineering vehicles in construction and agricultural operations usually need to have high maneuverability and flexibility, as well as meet the requirements of high lifting and deep operations. For this reason, telescopic arm off-road forklifts have gradually become one of the important cargo handling tools on construction sites and farms. The working principle of this type of forklift is mainly to transport cargo to a specified height or depth through the telescopic arm's telescopic and lifting functions.
[0003] However, existing telescopic arm off-road forklifts have certain limitations in their design. Most traditional telescopic arm forklifts are not equipped with angle indicator devices, or are only equipped with less conspicuous indicator devices. In actual operation, the lifting angle of the telescopic arm depends entirely on the operator's experience and judgment, and there is a lack of clear angle prompts. This design defect can easily lead to operational errors, especially in high-altitude operations or confined spaces that require precise control of the lifting angle, which may cause safety hazards. In addition, long-term reliance on the operator's experience will also increase the difficulty of operation for novice operators, affecting work efficiency and operational safety.

[0023] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0024] like Figure 1-Figure 5 As shown, a telescopic forklift arm lifting angle indicator device includes a forklift arm body 1, a pendulum pointer assembly 2 and a dial assembly 3 mounted on the forklift arm body 1. The pendulum pointer assembly 2 includes a pendulum 21 and a pointer 22. The pendulum 21 has a rotation hole 23, allowing the pendulum 21 and pointer 22 to rotate about the rotation hole. The dial assembly 3 is mounted on the forklift arm body 1 and includes a mounting plate 31 and a circular plate 32. The center of the circular plate 32 is coaxial with the rotation hole 23, and a scale 4 is fixed to the circular plate 32.
[0025] During the lifting process of the forklift arm, the pendulum 21 is always tilted vertically downward due to the force of gravity, forming an indicated angle between the pointer 22 and the scale 4, reflecting the tilt angle of the forklift arm. The scale 4 has a one-to-one correspondence with the arm lifting angle. By observing the scale value pointed by the pointer 22, the specific tilt angle of the forklift arm can be determined. This indicator device has a simple structure and uses the physical action of the pendulum to provide real-time and intuitive angle indication. It does not require electronic components, reducing maintenance costs and failure rates. Furthermore, its structure facilitates direct installation on the forklift arm, improving the device's applicability and durability.
[0026] In the specific design of the device, different materials can be selected to make the pendulum 21 and the pointer 22 according to the use requirements to adapt to different environments. In addition, the diameter of the rotating hole 23 and the curvature of the arc disk 32 can be appropriately adjusted to adapt to forklift arms of different specifications.
[0027] The pendulum 21 is fixed to one end of the pointer 22 by welding. After welding, the pendulum 21 and the pointer 22 become a whole, and the stability is enhanced, so that the pendulum pointer assembly 2 can rotate stably during the raising or lowering of the forklift arm. Fixing by welding effectively prevents loosening or displacement between the pendulum 21 and the pointer 22, thereby improving the accuracy and service life of the indication.
[0028] The pendulum 21 and the pointer 22 may also be fixed by other means, such as using fastening screws or adhesives, to adapt to different strength and working conditions, but the fixing strength must be ensured to maintain the indication accuracy.
[0029] The center of mass of the pendulum pointer assembly 2 is always located directly below the rotating hole 23. The center of mass located directly below the rotating hole ensures that the pendulum 21 is always pointed vertically downward under the action of gravity, thereby keeping the indication accuracy of the pointer 22 free from external interference. This design increases the indication accuracy of the pointer 22, ensures the stability and reliability of the angle indication, and is suitable for a variety of working environments. The center of mass can be accurately positioned by adjusting the weight distribution of the pendulum 21 or using a center of gravity adjustment device, thereby meeting the angle indication requirements of different forklift arms.
[0030] A waist-shaped fixing hole 33 is provided on the mounting plate 31. The setting of the waist-shaped fixing hole 33 allows the mounting plate 31 to have a certain adjustment space in the installation position so that it can be flexibly installed on forklift arms of different models. The adjustable design of the waist-shaped fixing hole 33 enhances the adaptability of the device, reduces errors during the installation process, and effectively improves the practicality of the device.
[0031] The shape and size of the fixing holes can be changed according to actual installation needs, such as using circular holes or multi-hole fixing designs to adapt to different installation requirements.
[0032] The scale 4 fits tightly against the edge of the arc disk 32, so that the pointer 22 can smoothly point to different scales on the arc disk 32, which is convenient for reading. The fitting design avoids gaps or errors between the pointer 22 and the scale 4, making the angle indication more accurate and the reading more intuitive and reliable.
[0033] The scale 4 may be made of a magnetic or adhesive material to ensure its stability in fitting in different environments.
[0034] The pendulum 21 is rotatably connected to the forklift arm body 1 through the rotating hole 23. The rotating connection of the pendulum 21 is achieved through the rotating hole 23, so that it can rotate freely under the action of gravity, thereby indicating the lifting angle of the forklift arm. The rotating connection method simplifies the device structure, improves the reliability and convenience of the indicating device, and reduces repair and maintenance costs.
[0035] Ball bearings or other types of rotary joints can be used instead of ordinary rotary hole connections to improve the wear resistance and service life of the connection.
[0036] The angle values marked on the scale 4 are marked at intervals according to the inclination angle changes of the forklift arm body 1. The scale on the scale 4 is marked according to the inclination angle change intervals of the forklift arm, so that each movement of the pointer 22 corresponds to the change in the actual inclination angle of the forklift arm, thereby intuitively reflecting the angle change of the forklift arm. This design allows the operator to intuitively read the lifting angle of the forklift arm, facilitates and accurately controls the arm body angle, and improves the safety and efficiency of the operation.
[0037] The scale interval can be adjusted according to different application requirements, such as marking as fine intervals or marking in other angle units to meet special angle control requirements.
[0038] Operation: As the forklift arm 1 is lifted, its tilt angle relative to the ground gradually increases. The dial assembly 3, comprising a mounting plate 31, a circular disc 32, and a scale 4, mounted on the arm 1, changes in sync with the arm's tilt. In the pendulum pointer assembly 2, because the center of mass of the pendulum 21 remains directly below the rotation hole 23 under the influence of gravity, the pointer 22 remains vertically downward, maintaining a constant angle relative to the ground. In this state, as the arm 1 is lifted, the angles of the circular disc 32 and scale 4 on the dial assembly 3 change relative to the pointer 22. The position on the scale 4 indicated by the pointer 22 therefore corresponds to the tilt angle of the arm 1. As the arm 1 is at different tilt angles, the pointer 22 displays the corresponding angle scale value on the scale 4, directly reflecting the current arm lift angle. The operator can easily read the arm's tilt angle by observing the position of the pointer 22 on the scale 4, thereby determining the lift status.
[0039] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
